The females differ from the males in not having the scorpion-sting-like, swollen structure at the end of the abdomen. The tip is sclerotised (brown, thickened and shiny) but tubular. The tip of the abdomen is not curled upwards and forwards, as it is in the male, giving fewer opportunities to find a suitable shooting angle.
Here is a selection, shot on more than one day. I am now seeing at least one adult each day, on one occasion framing a male in the foreground with another (too far away to determine its sex) behind it. There is a strong resident population.
EM-1 (manual mode), Kiron 105mm at f16, twin TTL RC flash, hand-held
